Looks like Vero Beach, FL until the end!

TIME
(Chambers Bros)

I try to look into my soul
To see, if it’s really there
I look into my lifetime
To see, if enough to care?

What things, I have done
And, those things for naught
When, I look around me
Just me, is all I’ve got!

I can’t reach and touch someone
Because, I would or couldn’t see
Never thought, that maybe
I’d be who, I might be?

But, I’ll end up who I am
Although there, could be a change
There are parts, of my own life
That, I can’t re-arrange.

So many would, if I could
But, I’m where I’m at
And, there is no changing
Between all this, and that!

I know my Heart is aching
For, things I didn’t do
And, for all those things, I could’ve
Just, between me and you.

But, time has its simple way
To say, that it’s too late
And sometimes when it comes the end
You’ll find that, it's your fate!

Hear you loud and clear, Abe. I finally rid myself of ALL my demons a mere eight months ago when I realized those old days were then, now is now, and there was no possible way to right some wrongs, so I forgave myself. Just because you forgive yourself doesn't mean the pain of what you did or didn't do goes away, but at least it understands to not get too close.  You have to have that right mindset to make this work. Actually, I think you have already figured it out.
